Twenty-four (24) 1000T combo ports that may be used in uplinking various network devices to the Switch, including PCs, hubs and other switches to provide a

gigabit Ethernet uplink in full-duplex mode.

Four (4) high-performance SFP ports for a fibre-optic connection to various network connections, for use over great distances.

Two 10-gigabit stacking ports at the rear of the Switch for stacking switches utilizing ring topology.

RS-232 DCE Diagnostic port (console port) for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation

program.

Installing the SFP ports

The Switch is equipped with four SFP (Small Form Factor Portable) ports, which are to be used with fibre-optical transceiver cabling in order to uplink various

other networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances.

1-5 Front Panel Components

The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators for Power, Master, Console, RPS, SIO (stacking), a seven-segment Stack ID LED and for Link/Act for each

port on the Switch, as well as 24 1000T ports, 4 SFP gigabit Ethernet ports and a RS-232 DCE console port for Switch management.
